The Posies To Return This Fall With New Album and Tour

"After the eclecticism of our last album, we thought it would be a good idea to make a kind of classic, back to our roots album, guitar pop with lots of harmonies, etc. We didn't end up doing that--however, what stands in place of that, is an album even more adventurous, more playful and more heartfelt than I think we've ever done. If I had to pick one album for us to be remembered by and delete all the others, no doubt that I would choose this one," says co-founder Ken Stringfellow.

Jon Auer, also original co-founder, adds, "With Blood/Candy, we definitely sound like us, but some of these songs are completely from an alternate Posies universe. We subscribe to the "evolve or perish" philosophy. We directed ourselves to new places with this recording and tried not to travel down familiar paths when it could be avoided. Expect the unexpected."

Since the band's inception in the late 80s in Seattle, The Posies − known for their cross-pollination of pop and rock − have maintained a consistent career throughout the years. Noted for hits like "Golden Blunders", recorded by Ringo Starr in 1992, along with "Dream All Day", "Solar Sister" and "Flavor of the Month" from their pivotal release Frosting On The Beater, the group has developed a massive cult following and critical acclaim.
